Jiggaboo_Johnson isn't being genuine. If you look at his earlier posts in this thread he clearly understands the facts about climate change. He just enjoys being a troll because sometimes, even after 40 or 50 years of life, some people never stop being jackasses. Just ask his ex-wives. -

"If you think of a tropical cyclone in general, it intensifies by extracting energy from the ocean," said Karthik Balaguru, a scientist for coastal modelling at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Seattle.
"So in a broader kind of perspective, if the oceans are warming up more and more as the climate changes, then they will provide a more favourable environment for the storms to intensify."

The record-shattering heatwaves, wildfires and floods destroying lives in the US, Europe, India, China and beyond in 2023 have raised an alarming question: have humanity’s relentless carbon emissions finally pushed the climate crisis into a new and accelerating phase of destruction?
The scientists told us that, despite it certainly feeling as if events had taken a frightening turn, the global heating seen to date was entirely in line with three decades of scientific predictions. Being proved right was cold comfort, they said, as their warnings had so far been largely in vain. -

Many of the aquifers that supply 90 percent of the nation’s water systems, and which have transformed vast stretches of America into some of the world’s most bountiful farmland, are being severely depleted. These declines are threatening irreversible harm to the American economy and society as a whole.
Climate change is amplifying the problem.
Global warming is shrinking the snowpack that feeds rivers, increasing the reliance on groundwater to sustain communities, lawns and crops, even as rising temperatures mean that plants need more water. A warmer world also causes more surface water to evaporate, leaving less to seep through the ground to replenish overstressed aquifers. -

New climate change/climate science denialism has dropped - or, rather, a remix of tired old denialism. Once again, a legion of people who do not possess relevant expertise but have impressive-sounding qualifications have choosen to put their names to a paper lying about the state of the climate and the damage being done to it.

Climate activists have spraypainted a superyacht, blocked private jets from taking off and plugged holes in golf courses this summer as part of an intensifying campaign against the emissions-spewing lifestyles of the ultrawealthy.

The majority of carbon offset schemes are significantly overestimating the levels of deforestation they are preventing, according to a study published in Science.
Carbon credit speculators could lose billions as offsets deemed ‘worthless’Carbon credit speculators could lose billions as scientific evidence shows many offsets they have bought have no environmental worth and have become stranded assets.
